Will the term "LCD" eventually replace the term "monitor"?

Aren't there LED monitors?

 

[Q]

Sure why not

 

[theflyingpig]

Never.

 

[Farang]

im gonna go ahead and agree with you on that

 

[ithec]

 

 

[nageov3t]

no.

maybe in terms of marketing, but I can't see an overall replacement.

For your own good (perhaps your sanity?), get a job. 😛

Judging by the results of your poll NSFW, it looks like we wish you the best finding a new job bro! :soda;

Er...will we still be monitoring the LCDs then?

LED monitors are still LCDs, they're just backlit with LEDs instead of florescents.

I know people who don't know from "monitors"... they only know "screen".

only if we LCD the monitors for a while longer

 

[Goosemaster]

If big brother can hack into it it is still a monitor.

Only until they're replaced by

OLED - Organic Light Emitting Diodes

ACNG - Activated carbon nanotube grid

CPSF - Charged Plasma String Fields

TSPA - Tachyon Stream Projector Array

 

[rh71]

we never called them CRTs.

 

[Adam8281]

no, because LCD can refer to more things than a monitor, such as an LCD TV

 

[DaveSimmons]

The cool thing about TSPA monitors is that they have a refresh rate below 0 ms and can completely eliminate lag in online FPS games.

Edit: Deleted snarky comment, realized I'm an idiot who didn't get DaveSimmons joke

 

[Red Squirrel]

We often just call them LCD or CRT at work, sometimes monitor but rarely.

I feel sorry for the people still stuck with CRTs, especially the ones too stupid to know how to change it from 60hz to 85hz. If I had to look at a 60hz monitor all day I'd get a seizure or something.

Not if they're OLED displays.

What if SED becomes a real technology?

OP: "LCD" replaced "CRT" as a term, not monitor.
